Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with olive oil.
Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil over the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter will be slightly thinner than pancake batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the pie dish. Use a spoon to gently even out the batter so it covers the filling completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped basil or grated Parmesan if desired, and serve warm.
